The Twitter Updater automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.

The plugin could not be easier to install. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory (under wp-content). Then login to your Wordpress install and activate it. 

The settings are not where you would expect, click on manage and to the very right of the options you will discover the Twitter control panel. You can select to Tweet new posts as well as post updates and you deactivate either option. We personally opt to just tweet new posts. 

We love this plugin - check it out here.
